5 Keys to the Game

Five things the Aggies need to do to win at LSU.

5 Tigers to know

QB Sam Leavitt: The Arizona State transfer has run for six touchdowns, but has thrown five interceptions while throwing only three touchdown passes. He’s also been sacked seven times and is missing his best receiver, tight end Trey’Dez Green. Still, he’s a strong, multi-talented quarterback who has played in and won big games.

RB Dilin Jones: The leading rusher with 64 carries and 285 yards, he’s LSU’s top back and will be relied on heavily tonight.

DE Princewill Umanmeilen: One of LSU’s new additions, Umanmeilen already has six sacks on the season. Tryee Adams and Wilkin Formby will have to slow him down.

LB Whit Weeks: The team’s leading tackler with 20, Weeks wears 7 — a big deal at LSU — and is the unquestioned leader of the LSU defense.

DT Deuce Geralds: The true freshmen has been a phenomenon so far, using his speed to rack up a pair of sacks and a forced fumble in his first three career games.
